Subject: [linux-lvm] devfs/vgchange error
Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2001 12:48:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <OF03F74D9E.DBB3955D-ON87256AE2.006CAD58@boulder.ibm.com> (raw)
I'm using Linux 2.4.10 and lvm 1.0.1-rc4.
Without devfs, perform the following:
1. Create a physical volume on some LVM partition (e.g., /dev/hda7).
2. Run pvscan--it shows the physical volume /dev/hda7.
3. Create a volume group (vg7) using the physical volume created in step
1. There now exists a device /dev/vg7/group.
4. Run vgscan--it shows the active volume group vg7.
5. Run vgchange -an. The device /dev/vg7/group still exists.
6. Run vgscan--it shows the inactive volume group vg7.
Rebuild the kernel with devfs and perform the following:
1. Run pvscan--it shows the physical volume
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part7.
2. Run vgscan--it shows the active volume group vg7.
3. Run vgchange -an. The device /dev/vg7/group is gone.
4. Run vgscan--it seg faults. In fact, any command that attempts to open
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part7 seg faults.
This does not appear to be a conversion problem from non-devfs to devfs; it
happens even if you start with devfs.
